You are looking at a 1985 Saleen Mustang Car Number 85-0093 car was confirmed as real by Liz at Team Saleen way back when I bought it. I purchased the car from Genes Auto Sales in Delaware many years ago in its current condition and had hopes of bringing it back to its original condition . Well as you can see that has never happened as I have not had the funds and have had a few health issues the last few years. The car is mostly original with the original Hayashi wheels in good shape missing center caps though. Original wolf steering wheel in nice shape. Original Cal Custom Hawk Alarm. It does not have the correct shift knob and the radio and rear speakers are missing. The rear spats are there and in good shape .The side ground effects are there and are fiberglass but have cracks and need repair. The front nose is the original front three piece nice and is in very nice shape. You will note in pictures it is being held up by string as the tape has lost it stick. The Body of the car is in good shape for its age and shows some light rust spots in several location but nothing that has rotted through most is just surface rust. The rear shocks are the original Bilsteins and I believe the front are as well but haven't checked.the car has 55 thousand original miles but has been sitting on and off for many years. I purchased the car about 12 years ago from Genes auto sales in Delaware. I was told that the owner of the Dealership purchased it for his son in the late 80s from a Lady who was a Baltimore city meter maid. The owners son is who I purchased it from. He said his dad never titled it and when they drove it they put dealer tags on it. He said his dad thought that someday the car would be worth allot of money like a Shelby well that never happened and for all the years they had it his father refused to sell it for a fair price. The car sat and sat and the sun faded the paint and the decals and the car began to show its age. It looks as if it has been repainted on the roof and hood once and the decals look as if they were changed once.. The car was relegated to the back lot of the dealership when I purchased it. The motor is in good shape and does not smoke . It has a new battery in it but for some reason when I tried to start it today it just cranks and it isn't getting spark. The oil and the antifreeze have been changed several times since I have had as I didn't want anything to happen to the motor. It does have several exhaust leaks when it was last running and I believe the exhaust is original. The transmission shifts fine and the clutch seemed to be ok when it was driven around the block last winter. The interior of the car is in good shape other than some fading and discoloration of the plastic panels in the back. The drivers seat has some stitching that has pulled loose but that is about it. The rear hatch shocks need to be replaced as they will not hold up the hatch. The heater core has been bypassed and the A/C  did not blow cold. I want to be up front about the car as it does need work but it is an original first year production Saleen and are seldom seen anymore. The car is a great start for somebody that wants a fairly easy restoration. It would need to be trailered home as the tires have dry rot they will hold air but for only about a week or two before they start going down and the brakes should all be gone through since the car has been sitting. Please don't ask if I will part the car out as I will not it is a very very solid car that just needs the right attention.i want to sell the car to someone who will return it to its proper glory. I'm fairly knowledgable on this cars as I have had three real 85 Saleens one that I sold just last year and I have had an 88 convertible. Please ask any questions you have and I welcome and recommend you come look at the car or have someone inspect it. The car is being sold as is where is with no warranty. I request a 250.00 pay pal deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction with the rest due in cash or certified funds before the title will be released. Good luck bidding and Thank You For Looking

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
